After hearing that Naruto was successfully retrieved and the Akatsuki all impossibly dead—thanks to Sasuke, Sakura and of course, their teacher Kakashi—Tsunade felt like giving Team Seven a visit to the hospital and surprising them with a good news about giving them a long vacation—rather, break. Besides, they needed it. Who would've thought that the villainous organization of Akatsuki—or what Tsunade would call, troublemakers—would tragically die in the hands of three, naïve, bratty kids and an old, perverted teacher? It would seem impossible, but really, they did defeat them. Their glorious return to Konoha proved that they Team Seven isn't just a team, they were bonded with such eternal friendship that nobody is bound to break.
"Sakura, I heard we're having a long, peaceful break after this." Naruto said ecstatically as he stood up from his hospital bed. The four of them—he, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi—were all assigned to rest in the same room. "I can't wait!"
Sakura smiled at Naruto and said, "I'm glad you're alive, Naruto…" She tried to stand up, but her body won't move an inch. She was so tired and fatigue showered upon both her mind and body. The deadly match with Deidara, Karin and Madara absorbed almost all of her energy, not to mention bringing Naruto back to life, which nearly killed her weary self.
"Don't move, Sakura. Your body is still adjusting to the antidote." Sasuke reminded quietly the moment he saw the pained expression Sakura had when she tried to mobilize her fingers. Sakura stared and reacted with a red blush.
Kakashi just smirked at the little scene of Sasuke and Sakura as he darted his eyes back to the newest edition of Icha Icha Paradise. It was a gift of Congratulations from Jiraiya, for he too, couldn't believe that they just defeated Akatsuki.
"I'm hungry! I want to eat!" Naruto said with a suspicious smile up his sleeve. "Teacher Kakashi come with me, will you? You owe me money." Kakashi looked up from his book to Naruto and saw him flash a wink. I see where this is going. He thought.
"Okay, I'll come with you." He said. "My wounds are perfectly healed and my tummy's rumbling." Kakashi stood up and went with Naruto, as they both slammed the door behind confused Sasuke and Sakura, before they left.
What are those idiots thinking? Leaving me all alone with Sasuke! Sakura thought nervously. What am I supposed to do in situations like these?
For a minute, it was quiet. Sakura kept looking at the opposite side to where Sasuke is. She thought angrily to herself. When those two get back here, I'll kill them. I seriously won't hold back.
"Sakura." I just love hearing my name in that beautiful voice.
"Sakura." Yes, keep calling my name.
"Sakura!" This time the sound was louder, firmer and she had to turn her head around to look at the owner of the cold, eloquent voice who kept on calling her name. It was the first time that she felt like her name sounded lovely.
Her eyes fell onto Sasuke's onyx ones. Sakura found herself melting from his breathtaking stare. She knew she had to restrain herself or she might just get lost in it.
"Yes?" She asked nervously.
Instead of answering Sakura back, Sasuke stood up from his bed, slowly walking towards her and slowly pushed himself onto her immobilized body. Chance! Sasuke thought triumphantly. He stared into her emerald eyes as he whispered softly, "Sakura, kiss me." tickling Sakura's entire self.
"B-b- but…" She tried insisting but before she could, Sasuke already placed his mouth onto hers, making her unable to resist him. At first, the kiss was slow, tender and soft, but when Sakura managed to kiss him back, it became violent, aggressive... hot.
Sasuke plunged his tongue as it wandered around in her mouth. Her lips were trembling a little, for it was her first time to actually kiss back. "Relax…" Sasuke murmured softly as he noticed Sakura shaking. He placed his mouth back into hers again, while his hands moved around her stomach and her thighs. He then broke the kiss and attacked Sakura's neck with his evil lips as he planted deep hickeys onto it. "You only belong to me…"
Sakura moaned hard as she felt Sasuke's lips nuzzling and licking her neck. It turned Sasuke on even more and then his hands slowly undressed her hideous hospital clothes to reveal a sexier Sakura—lying before him wearing a laced, sultry red bra.
"Oh Sasuke…" Sakura let out a sexy cry which drove Sasuke crazier than he was at that moment.
He looked at Sakura closely as he whispered again in his soft, velvet voice. "I love you, Sakura."
After hearing him confess again for the second time, Sakura knew that it sounded better than it did before. Her heart fluttered and the pitter-patter of it felt even louder than what her mind screams. You don't need logic in love. All you need is a heart.
And with that, Sakura knew she loved him too. She always had.
"I love you more." She replied softly as she smiled sweetly at him. The smile that Sasuke had always wanted to see. And now, it belongs to him.
Before Sasuke could reply and attack once more, they heard footstep coming towards their room. Great timing! Just great! Before he went back to his bed, he gave Sakura a swift peck on the lips.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Naruto asked, sensing the weird tension around the room. He noticed Sakura's glowing red face and said, "Well whatever it is, I think it had a great happy ending, don't you think so?"
Everyone nodded and they all had satisfied, happy smiles traced along their faces.
